I swear to God I NEED to find a friend who is into reading at a slower pace cuz I NEED to talk about how Hungerstone is going! I CAN'T KEEP THIS ALL IN MY HEAD!

#booksky #hungerstone #moots

I need to work however the protagonist of my book is about to take her revenge on her cheating, murdering twat of husband is the most kick ass way possible... How can I be expected to do anything other than read right now!?

#booksky

When you realize you have spent literally all your money apart from £46 on drinks all for a night out that if you're completely honest with yourself you only remember half of while you have your cars MOT and service coming up before your next pay day....

hate the withdrawal part of finishing a good immersive book. send me back in i wanna be back in there.

Been a minute and logging back on I've worked out that I am on a different level to other #booksky accounts (not a higher level)

Massive respect to anyone that can read a book quicker than a month! Maybe I need to go back to pop up books again, might keep my attention from drifting

I did it! And it only took 12 hours of straight drinking, 24 hours of hung over dying and 24 hours of reading but!

Day 4 (really ish)!

Getting very drunk with friends, as much as I'd like to share my reading progress I'm in some random club, reading update tomorrow I promise!!

Balls on the table, on Tuesday I was spontaneously asked by a friend to go to a gig, I couldn't say no ofc! Yesterday I read about 2 pages but today I have made (slight) progress!

Hungerstone day 3! (ish)

Hungerstone - Day 2
[█▉--------] 17%

Was my goal 10% a day? Yes. But it's like my favorite saying! If you don't succeed; ✨lower your expectations ✨

New goal 5% a day!

Also I wish I had the mindset of Carmilla, fucking icon

#book #readingclub #readingprogress

I'm definitely gonna need to lower my expectations and remember that 10% of one book is not gonna take the same time to read 10% of a longer book....

As much as I'm enjoying you Hungerstone, you're a big book!

#booksky #reading

New goal time cuz this feels mentally ✨ dangerous ✨

• Read 10% more of my book
• Have a sub 2 hour screen time on tiktok

I literally feel my attention span shrinking at this point

(No judgement to high screen times, I'm just getting to the point of procrastinating existence now for tiktok)

Ok now this is the place and weather to read a horror story! It's literally set in this very city in a big house surrounded by nature 🍄 I'm not forgiving work for making me do my job on a day like today!

Hungerstone - Day 1
[█---------] 12%

Honestly finding this harder to read, I'm not sure if it's the wording or I'm just tried but so far really enjoying it and I can't wait to see how it continues to play out!

† New Read†

I'm now starting Hungerstone by Kat Dunn! I'm hoping to read about 10% a day but we'll see how well that goes!

My last 2 reads have been by Johanna van Veen and to say she's got me into reading is an understatement, Blood On Her Tongue is a beautifully twisted story which makes you question everything from the start! I then read My Darling Dreadful Thing which has to be the most beautifully written book ever
